"The purpose of the meeting was to reacquaint all personnel with the roles each respective individual performed during their involvement into the investigation of the death of JonBenet Ramsey and/or the representation of Ramsey family members. Additionally, each member from the private sector was requested to share information with representatives of the Boulder District Attorney's Office, regarding potential leads that they had uncovered or developed. This information exchange was requested in part; due to the fact the Boulder District Attorney's Office is now responsible for the investigation into the murder of JonBenet Ramsey."

Oct 21, 2003 - Memo Four Month Summary
From: Investigator Tom Bennett To: ADA Bill Nagel Re: Gary Oliva
During the first four months of this case assignment I have conducted interviews with approximately forty (40) individuals. The interviews have been conducted at the homes of these individuals, their places of employment, at this office or by telephone. A background investigation of Gary Oliva and an interview conducted with James Selby has offered proof these persons were not responsible for the death of JonBenet Ramsey, thus eliminating two persons high on the list of potential suspects.

Jan 07, 2004 - NDIS CODIS Results
On January 29, 2004 (Thursday) at 1029 hrs, I (Inv. Tom Bennett) of the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, was contacted by Greggory LaBerge, Forensic Scientist with the Denver Police Department, Crime Laboratory Bureau, DNA Section, LaBerge informed me he had received a Laboratory Report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation addressing the results of a comparison of the DNA deposited on a pair of underwear worn by murder victim: JonBenet Ramsey, DOB/08-06-90. The crime occurred on 12-26-96.
The DNA was compared to the known Offender and Forensic DNA Database maintained through the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), administrated by the FBI. There were no matches.
Another break in the CORA Files timeline. In the interim Kolar infiltrated Mary Lacy's District Attorney Office and then got fired, Patsy died. John Mark Karr confessed to the crime, was arrested, but his DNA didn't match, and so he was let go. Mary Lacy had egg on her face, but soon decided that more DNA testing was in order.
